One of my favorite albums of this year (don’t worry, there won’t be a list) is undoubtedly Black Radio by Robert Glasper Experiment. I remember being stuck at the halfway mark because once I heard Ah Yeah (Feat. Musiq Soulchild And Chrisette Michele) I decided to get reacquainted with the repeat button. This was my first conscious introduction to Taalib Johnson aka Musiq, who has been releasing soulful RNB hits for almost 13 years now.

After spotting an amazing 12” of his single Just Friends (Sunny) at a local record store, I just knew I’d eventually have to share it with the MIMS crowd and dig deeper into his catalogue. I love the original version for it’s unapologetically straightforward and open-hearted lyrics, pleasant vibes and tongue-in-cheek beat box intro (pun intended), however nothing tops E-Smoove’s Soul Revival remix (not even the playful Masters At Work Dub). There’s just something about the way those loungey piano chords and jazzy guitar riffs tease each other over a swinging house beat.

Very nice remix but I think I still prefer MAW’s reworking. That dub is too much!

Proof that more R&B vocalists should step inside the House more often.

For sure! Dub is great too

Oh man I love Musiq! Thank you for bringing him to the MIMS table Doc’trin. Have you seen Sarah Mk’s rendition of this track? She did one way back and I still find myself googling it from time to time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Vk_M-E5UA

Forgotten Treasures

I will never cease to be amazed at how many musical treasures elude us, despite our best (and near obsessive) efforts. I guess that’s what keep record diggers, DJ’s and labels going: the fact that there are still so many gems out there. Case in point, the good folks at Australia’s …

Future Classics

The small but mighty independent label from Peckham (south-east London) known as Rhythm Section has been on an absolute tear lately. They’ve become one of the go-to labels for the loose, trippy and organic slow-house music sound we love. After a solid first year with 2 releases, Bradley Zero‘s brain …

Ok, so I know its been a while since the last “official” MIMS radio show. In my defence, since the 75th show, I put out these three special theme mixes in case you might have missed them, here they are: It Happens Every Spring Vol 2 80’s Dollar Bin Boogie …
